This is quite different from what I usually wear, but I guess I just wanted to mix things up a little bit! I'm wanting this summer to bring out some more of the pieces in my closet that don't get worn as often, because now is the time to do so! I'll be on a super tight, minimal wardrobe when I go to Italy, so I want to take advantage of the closet full of clothes I have now and get them out to see day light :)

Oh! And I wanted to thank you all who entered the ASOSgiveaway that I hosted last week! I was overwhelmed with the amount of entries, and I just let rafflecooper pick a random winner today via their generator and it was Maria! Congratulations, lady; I'll be emailing you soon.

Truly, thank you to all who entered! Would you be interested in me hosting more giveaways this summer, or is that not something you all like? Just me me know! Also, thank you for the support of the reopening of my online store! All the money I earn this summer is going towards my trip to Italy, so it truly means a lot :)
